Please bare with my relative indecision, this is the (hopeful) end to a months active searching on a 7 year old question(revisited every too often).
my trusty blackwidow (v1, bought off carb in 2012ish) is aging badly ,button rattle and space bar collapse and the lack of back lighting is annoying.
it has lasted extremely well and budget has kept it in use as long as i can justify for gaming.
in addition, my work keyboard has given up the ghost(dell kb522) and has recently started putting my machines into sleep mode randomly leaving me typing on a logitech k120.
this unassuming OEM keyboard replaced my g110 almost seamlessly for work after a coffee spill and put in years of daily graft, it has left me reliant on volume roller,wrist wrest and and mute button.
I am looking for quieter switch, possibly mx brown/red or equivalent to help maintain shared home office sanity(mx blues are loud af when i get into a rant or important email)
I am a massive fan of the blackwidow from a quality perspective and the chroma v2's wrist wrest appeals to my aging gamer claw
backlighting is a requirement, rgb unicron fart effect non essential, if it can cycle solid colors i'm thrilled, cant see jack in the dark on my current setup.
Item Wanted:Mechanical Full size keyboard
Packaging Essential:not critical, non original for shipping is fine
Desired Age:surprise me
Location: Port Elizabeth
Willing to accept a shipped item: Yebo
Ballpark/Budget Amount:1000-1300
FYI
